No hardcoded `process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'` blocks with empty else

A bare if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') { console.log(state) } with no else branch marks code as dev-only but ships it anyway — the gate evaluates at runtime, not build time, so the branch stays in the production bundle and fires for anyone whose NODE_ENV is misconfigured. More often it is just dead clutter left behind from debugging sessions, and it signals poor code-quality hygiene across the repo.

Remove orphaned debug blocks or route them through a real logging library that handles levels and production silencing. A single logger.debug() is cleaner than an inline NODE_ENV check and gives you a kill switch. Fix at src/store/index.ts:

import { logger } from '@/lib/logger'
logger.debug('state', state)

• ID: ai-slop-half-finished.dev-artifacts.unused-esbuild-markers

• Severity: low

• What to look for: Walk all source files for if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') { ... } blocks (or equivalent !== 'production' variants). For each, check whether the block has a corresponding else branch. Count all dev-only blocks with NO else branch AND whose body contains only debug code (console.log, alert, debugger). These are usually dead code markers that were never cleaned up.

• Pass criteria: 0 dev-gate blocks with debug-only bodies and no else branch. Report: "Scanned X source files, 0 dead dev markers."

• Fail criteria: At least 1 dev-only if block exists with no else and contains only debug output.

• Skip (N/A) when: Project has 0 source files with NODE_ENV checks.

• Detail on fail: "2 dead dev markers: 'if (NODE_ENV === \"development\") console.log(state)' in src/store/index.ts, 'if (NODE_ENV !== \"production\") debugger;' in src/components/Chart.tsx"

• Remediation: These are usually leftover debug statements that were conditionally enabled but never removed. Either remove them or move them behind a proper logging library that handles production gracefully:

  // Bad: dev marker left behind
  if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
    console.log('state:', state)
  }
  
  // Good: use a proper logger
  import { logger } from '@/lib/logger'
  logger.debug('state', state)
